Common Furrow Bee

<em>Lasioglossum calceatum</em>, commonly known as the common furrow bee, is a eusocial bee in the family Halictidae. The species has been documented in Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, Norway, and Sweden, and its range extends broadly across Europe and parts of Asia. Furrow bees in the genus <em>Lasioglossum</em> are among the most diverse groups of bees, and <em>L. calceatum</em> is one of the more commonly encountered halictid species in temperate European habitats. The species typically inhabits a variety of open and semi-open landscapes including grasslands, meadows, gardens, and woodland edges, nesting in the ground. It is assessed as Least Concern, consistent with its wide European distribution. <em>Lasioglossum calceatum</em> is a generalist forager, visiting a broad range of flowering plants for pollen and nectar, and thus contributes to pollination services in diverse habitats. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Colonies are typically small and primitively eusocial, with a single foundress queen and worker offspring, making this species of interest for studies of the evolution of sociality in bees.
